Tim Howard's homecoming to New Jersey was not the welcome he had hoped for as two first half Brazilian goals gave the five-time World Cup champions an easy victory over the United States national team.

With the US national team preparing for the Tuesday night's friendly against Brazil, Orebro midfielder Alejandro Bedoya will be looking to start off strong after narrowly missing out on making the World Cup team.

Head coach Bob Bradley has selected a roster of 18 players to face off against Brazil in their first friendly since the World Cup on Tuesday at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
